Tried that to. I wanted the turbo one... Lol
This could be my excuse to get another Mini or 1200 Datsun though!

Not really to keen on a diesel. Once you ad road user charges that mileage would go down though.

We regularly saw 5.0l/100km in this beast, shame it got written off after an argument with an SUV.


crazy to think such an old carby POS has numbers that would make most modern diesels jealous!


It's because it had zero safety features, zero creature comforts and was made from the crappiest materials available. Pretty much what Lotus would have made, if they were in the economy hatchback market.


indeed, i just find it interesting :)

I think I am going to end up with a Mini, 2 door datsun or escort, or something similar.
Wouldn't mind a 120y sss i think... Hard to find a decent non-raped one that's not selling for moonbeams though.
